## What it is
A browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge that enhances the GitHub website by showing repo and individual file sizes, adding download links for files, and enabling one-click copying of file contents to the clipboard. It works across active branches and handles GitHub's single-page-app navigation.

## Use cases
- show file sizes on github
- download individual files from github repos
- copy file contents from github to clipboard
- see repo size in browser
- enhance github ui with a browser extension
- download a file while viewing its contents on github

## When to choose
- you frequently browse GitHub and want file sizes and per-file download links without cloning
- you want to copy raw file contents straight from a GitHub file view
- you use Chrome, Firefox, or Edge and want a lightweight GitHub enhancement

## When to avoid
- you need GitHub enhancements beyond file size, download, and copy features
- you primarily work with private repos and do not want to configure a GitHub access token
- you need a CLI or API-based way to fetch repo file metadata
